Abstract

Abstract : A wearable skin hydration sensor is developed by Y. Zhu, J. F. Muth, and co‐workers in article number 1601159. The sensor is made of silver nanowires inlaid in a silicone substrate, which renders the sensor flexible and stretchable. Integrated systems with multimodal sensing capability (e.g., hydration, strain/motion and electrophysiological sensing) are demonstrated in two form factors — wristband and chest patch.
